Experience God in the here and now through Communion.
This book explores how
celebrating the presence of God With Us through Holy Communion nourishes
our souls, refreshes our sense of community, and equips us for mission
in Christ’s name. Yet many Christians do not understand Communion or see
it only as an empty ritual. Because of that, low worship attendance or
enthusiasm commonly accompanies Communion Sundays—leaving churches
feeling spiritually depleted. This book provides insights and practical
suggestions for giving this sacrament a more prominent role, not just
in church life, but in the Christian formation of individuals.
For small groups, Sunday school classes, and as a preaching resource, Holy Communion: Celebrating God with Us by
Kenneth M. Loyer and general editor William H. Willimon is suitable for
a four-week study and includes discussion questions at the end of each
chapter.
The Belief Matters series assists
pastors and clergy in explaining fundamental elements of the church and
its worship to congregations. Holy Communion is the second in the series and follows Incarnation by William H. Willimon.
